It must be a heart-wrenching decision to leave Manchester United before realising your first-team dream, yet Michael Keane has shown that success can be found away from Old Trafford.
The Academy graduate was called up to the England national team on Tuesday morning as a replacement for the injured Glen Johnson and a reward for his excellent form with Burnley, the club he joined on a permanent transfer in January 2015 following a short loan spell at Turf Moor.
Keane opted to switch to the Clarets at that time in his fledgling career as his opportunities to play regular senior football at United were so limited under the management of Louis van Gaal, who switched between Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones and Jonny Evans at centre-back in his first season.
